Kale Soup FTW #Vegan Or Not

Kale soup is SO GOOD, and very versatile. It doesn't even have to be vegan, if you don't want it to be.

Here's the version we had the other night.

That's chickpeas, black-eyed peas, carrots, and (surprise!) kale in a Not-Chick'n broth. I put in some onion powder, too, though onions would be nicer. Ham or kielbasa would make a good meat addition. If I were serving this in mixed company, I would cook the ham/sausage in a separate pan and serve it on the side to be added at the table.

It's Official!

About Gayle

I'm a full-time freelance writer, editor and author living in Virginia. I have a terrific husband and two wonderful children who are, by the way, boy/girl twins. I love writing, reading, baking, cake decorating and, sometimes, needle crafts. I prefer almost instant gratification with my needlework, though. I have a cross-stitch picture I've been working on for years; but in the meantime, I've finished several pieces that can be done in an afternoon.

My cozy mystery MURDER TAKES THE CAKE is scheduled for release by Bell Bridge Books in October of 2008. My heroine in MURDER TAKES THE CAKE has her own site. Check it out at Daphne's Delectable Cakes. I also have a Squidoo lens for Freelance and Novel Writing; so, if you're a writer, surf on over to that page.
